Iambaytor Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I saw that movie something like 3 years ago. I assumed that maybe it was weak because Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane was a weak character, I figured there had to be a reason why he wasn't as popular as Kull and Conan. But I'm currently reading the adventures of Solomon Kane and though they floundered a bit for the first couple of stories, Kane's campaign in Africa (the majority of the 10 completed stories) are a pulpy delight and not a goddamn thing like this boring stupid movie. It had its moments and everything else by the director I've seen was pretty good (he uses fog in all of his movies, it's no surprise he's directing the new Silent Hill movie) but I'd put it between Kull the Conqueror and the less than glowing reviews I've heard about the new Conan movie in terms of quality.

Mr. Hakujin Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 It looked like maybe one worth seeing in the theater from the trailer, but no way I'm doing that now. I might torrent it in the future on a rainy day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinestetici Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Silent Hill trailer came out today. It looks awful. I know there has to be artistic license when making a film out of a video game, but it looks as though the producers have changed everything about the game for the movie, and it just looks terrible.

Iambaytor Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I didn't see much not to like there, except that there appeared to be a lot of talky non-creepy parts which will hopefully relegated to the first 15 minutes. I never played 3, but I know that the story-lines for these games were a bit muddled and convoluted so I would be okay with them doing their own take. It worked for the first one.

Mr. Hakujin Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) CLOUD ATLAS Trailer  What the hell is this all about? That trailer does not go where you think it's going at the beginning.... From imdb.com:  An exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution.  The trailer looked interesting. They've sold me on getting a ticket. Now the question is, will it be another Matrix or another Matrix Revolutions.

Reverend Jax Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Actually Chris, I was able to figure out that premise from the trailer, but that doesn't mean the trailer didn't throw be for a loop. It's hard to see a single narrative thread being weaved through all those characters and periods that will leave the audience feeling like they've been told a single, complete story. I'm over hating on the Wachowskis over the Matrix Revolutions. I loved V for Vendetta and am wholly unapologetic in my love for the Speed Racer movie. With some time to distance myself from it's initial release, I'm come to see The Matrix Revolutions as being a victim of it's own ambition. The Wachowskis clearly didn't plan out how the Matrix story would play out over 3 films when they wrote the first one, and they set up high expectations for those sequels. Every artist is allowed their share of missteps, and the Wachowskis have put out my quality than disappointments in my book. Â Silent Hill trailer came out today. It looks awful.

The NZA Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 if i recall jax's review of the last one: Â "I am boringly unable to suspend my atheistic views for an hour and a half, and am likewise bored by non-animated actors. please excuse me as i go say incorrect things about breakfast cereals."

Â Meh. The imdb summation seems to point to a cohesive narrative that would address that concern. Also, they're working from a novel, so there's (hopefully) a more clear cut narrative structure than the Matrix Trilogy. At best I'm anticipating from the trailer a film that has an interestingly complicated structure (more on par w/ Inception in that regard) than a film that has a pointlessly convoluted structure (most appropriate example I can think of would be Matrix Revolutions).
